Directions say not to put over permanent dyed hair. Has anyone done this anyway? Results?

Many times. Great results. Just keep an eye on it and don't under process. Depending on what color it was dyed and on the condition of the hair it could be less or more time needed for developing. People that get poor results from home highlighting often rinse the hair too quickly.

yes and its not that strong i used it on dark brown hair and it took around 2-3 hrs to pick up a reddish tone .. then i had black hair and since i had an extra box , it took around 4 hours to pick up a dark red tone .. its not as strong ... i also used it in light brown hair it took around 2 hours as well to get into a blondish phase

It might not turn out the same as if you didn't use henna so it's not recommended but I don't think there's any harm in it... I llightened a friends hair after henna, and it didn't take all the color out, it made it kind of brassy so I had To go over it twice.. Henna is kind of a commitment but it is possible to dye over it.....

I just mix it in like any other hair coloring and it comes out fine. Just work it into a section at a time and then make sure all hair is covered with the coloring solution.

Unfortunately this can not be dyed. I just recently brought four packages of it 1B the color of my unprocessed hair. I added it to my locs, no problem but when I wanted to dye my entire head (extentions included) burgundy. The salon asked me to bring in a sample of the hair to test. I brought in an entire package because I had extra left, they used several different types of dye and bleach the hair still remained the same color, 1B.

not sure haven't heard of some one dying the hair. I would not recommend it unless it was unprocessed hair like unprocessed brazilian hair.

It's not permanent. I have an Asian friend that likes to put it in a couple parts of her hair for summer and her hair is really dark. It comes out on most I think. I have dirty blonde hair that's why I'm using my friend as an example. I use it to really bring out my highlights in the summer.

I believe you could, but its just a temporary stain so it might not show up well over your existing color unless you were in bright light. Applying to pre-lightened hair is highly recommended.

I believe that it is permanent. It doesn't say specifically on the outside of the box but there is a warning that permanent hair color may irritate the skin.

Probably not the way you want it to. Unlike conventional hair dyes, this doesn't have compounds to "lift" any of your natural hair color off, so it'd probably end up only looking reddish under sunlight.

I just dyed over my henna in the salon and the result was very good. What you need to do if you want an even color is to go with the darkest shade you have on your head right now. Follow the instructions for your boxed dye and all should go well. If you still see Henna then don't, I repeat DO NOT try to lighten your hair. It would be virtually impossible and the result will be a hot mess.

Elumen is supposed to be permanent but in my experience it's more like a demi-permanent. It has no peroxide or ammonia so it doesn't damage your hair like regular hair color.

You can't dye this hair.. It will NOT take.It's synthetic....You'll just waste your dye, and time.

I accidently ordered the conditioner for color treated hair. I have been using it now for over a month and it seems to work just as well. I think that the products for color treated hair may actually be a little gentler to the hair to not remove the color. So while I didn't need that it seems to be fine.

I normally use it as a base coat and do not use a base coat. As far as I have been told you can keep applying it over your color, I was recommended to use it every other day.

I wouldn't. I own this product & the colors you see are true to color! I got the Medium Blonde & it looks exactly like my hair. It is very sensitive to water. It seems to fray. So I bought a flat Iron and that took the fraying out. It tells you in the packaging how to take care of it.
